There are not many optional brands of hybrid electric vehicles, and the representative model is Toyota Honda. Independent brand cars don't like hybrid cars, and they all go to new energy vehicles (with subsidies). Toyota's hybrid technology of oil and electricity is relatively mature and has nothing to do with ordinary fuel vehicles. Global sales have already exceeded10 million, which is mature and stable, which is directly related to Toyota's THS hybrid system.
Honda's hybrid system came out late, but IMMD's system can also be called mature and stable, and some places are better than THS. These two fields have their own characteristics in hybrid technology. Toyota hybrid is like a master of Tai Chi. Invisible is better than tangible. Just like an ordinary doorman wearing a straw hat, it is unremarkable, and the driving experience is a fuel car. Honda Hybrid is a martial arts expert, with amazing backbone and full of foreign spirit. Domineering side leakage is a family tradition! Obviously different from fuel vehicles, more like electric vehicles, with better power performance!
Which Toyota Honda is cost-effective, actually it depends on the budget. If the budget is small, buy the Corolla/Lei Ling series directly. Entry-level models 13.58w, landing price 15w or so. This car can only be said to be the cheapest model in the hybrid car, and it is also a model with no choice. Because only Toyota does it in a compact car with hybrid electric vehicles.
If the budget is a little more, you can choose a mid-level car, which is more comfortable. Among the hybrid B-class cars, Honda has the lowest threshold. The starting price of Accord is 19.98w, but there are more than 10,000 cash discounts in various regions, and the starting price is lower.
Accord hybrid has four configurations and a wide range of choices. For example, although the price of the lowest model is relatively low, it is completely achieved by reducing the configuration. The starting price is low and the threshold is low, which can make more people experience the fun brought by hybrid cars. In particular, it is more cost-effective to reconfigure the hybrid system, and the configuration is far less realistic than the strong power and low fuel consumption.
Toyota's hybrid B-class car is Camry twin-engine series. The starting price of Toyota Camry twin engines is higher, with a minimum of 23.98w and a landing price of 26 W+.
The threshold is relatively high, the starting point is the deluxe edition, and the configuration is relatively high. The same entry-level Camry hybrid is more than 5w more expensive than Accord hybrid, and the configuration is much better than Accord hybrid. Toyota positioned twin engines as high-end models, so it didn't make low-priced and low-priced models to run. The main reason is that Toyota feels that its hybrid technology is very mature, ranking first in the world. It is not necessary to produce small quantities of vehicles, but also to maintain high profits. Because Honda hybrid entered the market late, it is urgent to increase its market share. Therefore, it is Honda's original intention to let more people accept low-priced hybrid cars. Therefore, in the hybrid B-class car, the elegant hybrid has a higher cost performance.
The difference between Toyota hybrid and Honda hybrid: Toyota hybrid system is developed purely for energy saving, and the power performance of planetary gear power shunt system is poor. But the ride comfort is invincible, the engine and motor are always coupled, and the power can be seamlessly switched.
However, the disadvantage of THS is that the motor and engine can not be completely decoupled, and the power of the motor and engine can not be fully exerted. When driving at low speed, the fuel consumption performance is good and the power is acceptable. However, when driving at high speed, the engine and motor cannot be completely decoupled, so the engine utilization rate is slightly lower and the fuel consumption is slightly higher.
Honda's hybrid does not use the planetary gear power shunt system, because this shunt system has been patented by Toyota, and it is unacceptable for Honda to bypass Toyota's patent with multiple planetary rows. Just like Honda's parallel shaft gearbox, it has also created an excellent AT gearbox in different ways. The same is true of Honda's IMMD hybrid system, which develops a completely different hybrid scheme from Toyota. High-power motor and clutch are used to form a hybrid power system. At middle and low speed, the wheels are completely driven by motors, which is a typical series hybrid power mode. Using the motor with the maximum power of 135kw, the peak torque reaches 3 15Nm, and the power is absolutely sufficient, which can be described as abundant power, and the power performance is better than that of Toyota's THS hybrid system. When the battery is fully charged, the motor is driven by the battery and the clutch is disconnected.
When the power is insufficient, the engine drives the generator to generate electricity to drive the motor, which is the hybrid mode.
At high speed, the utilization ratio of the engine after the second capacity conversion is much less than that of the direct drive wheel, so at high speed, the clutch is closed and the engine and the wheel are directly connected, resulting in lower fuel consumption! This is the reason why Honda hybrid has a lower fuel consumption than Toyota hybrid. When Honda hybrid is driving at high speed, the engine and motor are completely decoupled, and the motor can also drive the vehicle independently when the battery is sufficient, reducing fuel consumption.
When Honda is driving at medium and low speed, the energy is converted twice, and the engine can generate electricity first and then drive the motor. When Toyota is driving at a low speed, the engine can directly drive the wheels and generators (it can't be decoupled), and the engine utilization rate is slightly higher, so the fuel consumption of Toyota hybrid system will be slightly lower when driving at a low speed in urban areas.
Honda's hybrid system relies too much on motors, and high-power motors have a high demand for electric energy, so the power of the whole vehicle will drop when the battery capacity is insufficient.
This will be reflected in the northern winter, the ambient temperature is low, and the battery can not be charged and discharged with large current. Only when the temperature rises can the high-current discharge ability be restored, so when the vehicle is stored in cold areas and open air, the motor power will decrease at the initial stage of vehicle start-up. However, the battery itself will generate heat during charging and discharging. After driving for a certain distance, the battery core will generate heat completely normally, which will not affect the use.
